I never was much of an environmentalist. In fact, in my university days (back in the ‘90s…sigh), I admit that I even littered on occasion. Some of my more progressive friends were in planet-saving mode, and while I respected their point of view, I certainly didn’t share it. I was just ignorant. I did a…

I have owned every conceivable type of baby carrier. Let’s start there. Slings, wraps (of both the three-part variety and the nine-feet-of-material variety), facer-inners, facer-outters. I love love babywearing, and the right carrier makes all the difference. I don’t believe that you’re going to find one carrier that works right from birth all the way…

Have you heard some children’s CDs out there? Seriously, there’s some real crap. Terrible rhymes, annoyingly high-pitched voices and messages that aren’t really my idea of values I wish to instill. Sometimes I wonder if these so-called children’s entertainers are really just failed musicians who couldn’t hack it in the big leagues. That’s why it’s…

Like strollers, I thought the perfect high chair didn’t exist. We tried a couple of those chunky plastic versions – you know, the kind with the puffy vinyl-covered padding that appear as supportive as a newborn’s car seat and collect crumbs better than high-pile carpet. They had five-point harnesses. They reclined. They had toys that…

From the time The K Man was just two months old, we’ve been using Mustela products. It started when a friend gave us a gift set filled with all kinds of goodies to try from the Mustela Bébé line. Made in France, Mustela is a complete line of hypoallergenic bath and hygiene products that is…

<In case you’re looking for the 2015 UPPAbaby Vista review…carry on…> When it comes to big investments – you know, a crib set or a vacation – I become obsessive (manic, really) about research. I’ll spend hours online reading about a product’s features and benefits, checking out reviews, and then spend an equal amount of…

Can a six-month-old sing? Perhaps in her own gibberish-y way. But I’d argue babies can certainly appreciate music from very early on. As someone who loves to sing (in the car, in the shower, on a stage – you name it), it’s important for me to impart a love for music on The K Man…

During a recent play-date, my friend admitted to giving her 12-month-old son two per cent cow’s milk. Perhaps there was the look of horror on my face that followed. I was nearly certain that babies under the age of two need the higher fat content found in homogenized milk for proper brain development, but this…

If you’re a new Mom or Dad reading this, you’ll understand. Surely there’s been at least one time that you’ve thought of something and decided that a patent might be wise, lest the idea be stolen from the clutches of your grey matter only to show up in mass production at Babies ‘R Us making…

Vitamin D has become one of those recommendations from health professionals that you just can’t ignore. Aside from being a must for any exclusively breastfed baby, the sunshine vitamin can be absorbed through exposure to the sun or by drinking milk, which is fortified with vitamin D. But most kids, at least those in Canada, can’t or…
